Orly Blush Collection 2014 and Cupcakes with Sophie’s Mom

Blush Collection with Coffee and Cupcakes...What a great way to start my Saturday of bonding with my girl.

The Orly Blush Collection with Coffee and Cupcakes…What a great way to start my Saturday of bonding with my girl.

Of the many different ways Gia and I like to bond,  we have a few favorites.

Orly8We love to bake and eat sweets, and we love to pamper ourselves. We really value our girl time together. So this is why we were looking forward to our Orly Mother Daughter Pampering Date at Sophie’s Mom in McKinley Hill.

Natural Colors that tender and feminine:  from L-R Naked Canvas (Nude with Pink Pearl), Cheeky (Peach Shimmer), First Blush (Coral Crème), Dare to Bare (Taupe Crème), Classic Contours (Mauve Crème), Flawless Flush (Cool Lilac w/Gold Shimmer). Screen shot taken from Orly PH FB page

We both blocked off our entire Saturday so we could spend the day together.

With Fleur

We were happy to be spending time with fellow SoMoms Fleur and Jackie and their daughters as well.

I learned from Tonette, who is "Sophie's Mom" that she started this business with the help of her daughter. They actually started out by selling Mochi in one of the Assumption Fairs!

I learned from Tonette, who is “Sophie’s Mom” that she started this business with the help of her daughter, (yes, you guessed it) Sophie. They actually started out by selling mochi in an Assumption Fair!

Tonette’s daughter, Sophie, is known for loving everything and anything Japanese. So together they decided that they would sell their Japanese Mochi Ice Cream at the Assumption Fair.  When they sold out all their Mochi before 12nn on the first day of the fair, Tonette found herself scrambling and baking cupcakes, just so that they would still have something to sell for the duration of the fair. This was back in 2010, and since then their business has expanded to sell delicious treats such as Truffled Mochi, Frozen Braso Ice Cream and of course the cupcakes that they are very well known for. Tonette shared how she and her daughters all play a part in the business. Sophie helps with product photos (and recently got into blogging as well), Steph helps with the running of the stores, and Sam likes to come up with the smoothie recipes. (Sam has been known to make a mean ice candy as well.)

We took advantage of the sweets that were on the dessert table, once our nails were dry.

Tonette would like to see more people utilize the space in her McKinley location. She envisions a “Crave, Create, and Celebrate” type of atmosphere in her bake shop that serves savories as well if that’s what pleases your palate.

Gia super loved the colors from the collection prior to BLUSH. Baked is a collection that was released earlier this summer.

Gia super loved the colors from the collection prior to BLUSH. Baked is a collection that was released earlier this summer. These colors are in stark contrast to the natural colors of the Blush Collection, but they are perfect for a teenager like Gia.

But what was most pleasing for me and Gia was the time we spent together being pampered and having our nails done with a quality polish that we know very well. Orly is a fast drying polish (We need that if we are on the go!) that applies well with two coats, and is safe to use even on pregnant women.

Great Minds think alike...Jackie, Fleur, and I all decided that Dare to Bare was the color of choice.

I love how light and fresh the colors are…they are muted but with enough color that won’t clash or attract too much attention.

Orly lacquer is free of DBP, Toluene,  and Formaldehyde. The polish is known for the easy to use Gripper Cap, and  provides streak-free coverage. It is also formulated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and yellowing. This means it’s safe for everyone to use. Yes, safety is important…most especially with anything you put on your body, and this includes nail polish as well.

Orly 7Moms and daughters together: Me and Gia, Fleur and Anika, Marjorie and her Mom, Jackie and Gabbie, and Tonette, owner of Sophie’s Mom. 

The Blush and Baked Collections are available full retail for only P385.00 per bottle. You can find Orly Nail Lacquers and treatments at all PUREBEAUTY stores. (Serendra, Trinoma, ATC, Harbor Point Subic, Landmark, Robinson’s, Gaisano, and PCX outlets.)

Call 903-0476 for more information on all ORLY products or visit the ORLY PH facebook page, and Instagram account.

Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has all the southern fixings and more.

Grilled and smoked meats. Seafood and mixed drinks. Fried chicken and fish and chips. Starters include fresh salads, corn bread, nachos and more. But the kicker comes in the form of a Make Your Own Milkshake bar, and YES, you can order it spiked with your favorite liquor! 

Waterside is only one of quite a few restaurants that you can enjoy  beautiful weekend brunches with your favorite person, the fam bam, or your friends. 

Check out www.mommanmanila.com to see the full menu and what Nino and I enjoyed most.
Creating food together is one of our love language Creating food together is one of our love languages. We flow in the kitchen. I get excited and move too fast, and she grounds me, and slows things down. We can move around one another while still staying in sync. In our own kitchen, there is music that guides us and sets the tone for the meal. Gelli would be in the mix, the boys will set the table, someone makes dessert, and maybe @manila.gent  makes a drink. 

When we prepare our table together there is so much that goes into the process and the ingredients. This mindful movement brings me so much joy when we are all together.

Even more so when we attend classes together to learn new dishes too.  @themayakitchen1 has regular classes offering cooks of all abilities to learn something new when preparing meals for for our families.

Check out my new article on @rappler for @kitchen143 where Gia and I learned from Chef @cocoyventura a few new Pinoy dishes that will definitely be on rotation for #TeamGellibean.

Crispy Pata. Is there anything better than perfec Crispy Pata.

Is there anything better than perfectly brined crispy fried pork? 

@manila.gent and I visited @viicsrestaurantph for simple Pinoy fare that hit the spot. Admittedly, after moving here so many years ago, I took a while to warm up to this dish that is one of Nino’s (and my mom’s) favorites. But every once in a while-I won’t feel guilty about indulging in this deep fried treat.

Happy to learn that we can also order for when Mom arrives through @foodpanda_ph too!

Looking forward to bringing the family back soon!

Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGu Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGuardia, was picked up by one of my dearest friends and spent the entire day at the beach just catching up on LIFE.

It was a breezy day. Overcast. A little chilly to be in a suit, but it was perfect to catch up with my girl Candy. Sometimes, if you have chosen your friends well, you can pick up where you left off, as if no time has passed at all. 

Just like I did, sitting in that beach chair, feeling the mist of the Atlantic Ocean, and watching the seagulls pick and the seaweed.

Thank you Candy! For the friendship, for dropping everything to come and pick me up. Drive me around and have dinner with me and Fayth. 

Wishing I was sitting on this beach with you right now!!!
Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of ma Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of many dishes that we enjoyed during #SundayBrunch at Waterside in @solaireresort .

From cornbread, to mom’s potato salad, melt in your mouth whisky cured short ribs, homemade sausages and more. This #BrunchBuffet had @manila.gent and I rolling each other out the door!

Hard to choose which was our favorite from the feast that was set before us!

Brunch is inclusive of some delicious drinks, some Southern smoked and BBQ Fare, and a most colorful sweet dessert buffet by way of Milkshake Bar!

Missing my @migaventajado The short time I had w Missing my @migaventajado 

The short time I had with this guy in Florida was definitely something I will look back on. Wish we had more time to explore and do some fun things on our own.

Gah. How is this kid 20 years old already?
I remember when he was little and he loved peanut butter, chicken nuggets, Kylie Minogue, and sitting on my lap. He was squishy, in tune with my feelings, and I was always worried that he might have an asthma attack in his sleep so I would nebulize him every few hours. He always looked at new experiences with gratitude and wonder, much how he did while we were in FL together.😍

Praying he continues to strengthen his faith as he grows. 🙏🏻👨🏻🙌🏻

Miss you Miggy!
